In need of service
Who: Maxine, open to all
Where: Marchese's Texaco
What: Maxine gets her car fixed
Maxine considered herself quite self-reliant, but there were times she had to admit that a professional was needed. She could change her own oil, but when the car started making knocks and pings it was time to bring it in for service.
The car hadn't been new when her and Joe bought it, but it was gently used. And they'd tried to keep it in good condition. After Joe died, Maxine had kept the ol' girl going on her own. She'd considered upgrading a time or two, but she couldn't bear to let go the car where her and Joe had gone for drives together and made plans for a future that would never come to pass.
She pulled into the lot of Marchese's Texaco ,the knocks and pings continuing a moment even after she turned off the key. "That can't be good," she said to herself as she got out of the car. She patted the car affectionately. "Don't worry, they'll get you fixed up ol' girl. They always do."
Maxine headed in to the service area, hoping that they weren't too busy to fix things today.

"And I know-- you've got good hands. I mean... you're good. With cars. I trust your hands."
She coughed to hide her embarassment over the wording of that.
